Ohio State’s top-ranked 2021 recruiting class gets another boost as four-star RB commits to Buckeyes

With Pryor’s commitment, Ohio State further cemented itself as the top football recruiting class in 2021 on the 247Sports.com composite. Of the baker’s dozen commitments halfway through this current cycle, two are five-star recruits and another nine are four-stars.

While there’s still a ways to go, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day could be in the midst of assembling a potentially historic class. From 247Sports.com:

So with that, how special could this haul in Columbus really?

For perspective, recruiting classes that finish with an average ranking per commit over 94 is pretty rare. We’ve only had five total hit that mark in the history of our 247Sports network dating back to 2010, and the Buckeyes have done it twice, once in 2017 and again the following year. The 2017 haul Urban Meyer and his staff put together headlined by Chase Young and Jeff Okudah is still pound-for-pound the highest-rated class when looking at average ranking per commit at 94.59. Alabama gave that a run in 2019 coming in at 94.38. No program hit the mark over 94 in 2020.

Now back to the present and Pryor’s announcement, Ohio State stood at 95.07 and now get the ballyhooed back’s .9634 rating to boost that number a tad more. The potential beyond Turrentine (.9413) is eye-popping as we start the narrative for potential best recruiting class ever.

The Turrentine mentioned in the above-quoted paragraphs is Andre Turrentine. A four-star 2021 safety, Turrentine is expected to commit to Ohio State football as early as Tuesday.

"Top ranked recruiting class" has a nice sound to it.....:biggrin:

A total of 37 of the top 107 ranked kids have committed. We have 11 of those.

5 of our 13 commits are rated top 5 at their position.
8 are in the top 10.

As the #31 rated CB in the country, Smith's ranking is almost four times the average placement of the rest of the class.

Of course, if you are going to go by average rankings Michigan is right there with us, and may stay that way if they hold the line with only 2 commits.

SKULL SESSION: SOME EARLY COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETTING LINES, BUCKEYE RECRUITING ISN'T SLOWING DOWN, AND OHIO STATE PRODUCED SOME OF THE BEST NFL PROSPECTS OF THE PAST SIX YEARS

AIN'T DONE YET. The Buckeyes have reeled in three commitments in two days with another one (probably) coming before noon today. But I cannot stress this enough, they ain't close to done. They might not even be done this week.

And recruiting-knower Steve Wiltfong points out, the players who haven't pulled the trigger yet ain't exactly scrubs, either.

As we move forward, Ohio State is the 247Sports Crystal Ball leader for or has burn regarding the following prospects: Five-star defensive tackle J.T. Tuimoloau (.9972), top-ranked receiver Emeka Egbuka (.9944), five-star running back TreVeyon Henderson (.9888), running back Donovan Edwards (.9809), offensive tackle JC Latham (.9787), defensive end Tunmise Adeleye (.9787) and the No. 2 safety in the country Derrick Davis (.9780) who are all ranked inside the Top50 of the 247Sports Composite Player Rankings. OSU is also in the middle of it for five-star offensive tackle Tristan Leigh (.9899), defensive end Demeioun Robinson (.9764) and offensive lineman Rocco Spindler (.9761) who are Top50 prospects as well, with defensive tackle Tywone Malone (.9750) right outside at No. 53.

The Buckeyes are recruiting at such a unique level that if they were to land Top247 blue-chippers like receiver Troy Stellato, offensive lineman Jager Burton, defensive tackle Marcus Bradley and defensive backs Kamar Wilcoxson and Jantzen Dunn, their average ranking per commit would take a small hit. Those guys would be the jewel of about any other class.

Yes, Ohio State could add Troy Stellato – a top-150 player in the country – and it would bring the average team rating down.

I think you could say that the Buckeyes are effectively social distancing themselves from every other program with this class.
